some remarks from me on that issue:
- we don't enforce that data matches the DFSG for release of sarge
- stars (and derivants) have a longer history in resolving that issue.
Though I'm unhappy that stars is now not directly usable, I think the
general tendency is ok.
So, unless the maintainer asks for removal, I don't think that starts
qualifies for removal _now_. Of course, if the problem is not fixed
before release of sarge, we might still consider to do it.
Cheers,
Andi
